Murasaki Baby unveiled for PS Vita

Ovosonico is an independent game production studio founded by industry veteran and former Grasshopper Manufacture (Killer7, No More Heroes, Shadows of the Damned) Director Massimo Guarini.

We specialise in IP creation and we love to create unconventional and artistically crafted videogames characterised by a strong sense of authorship.
Our studio is based in an 18th-century villa in Northern Italy, immersed in a private park overlooking the Alps and the lakes. In such an unusual, creative environment, it is quite common to engage in many different activities that have nothing to do with game development, which is why the team always look so happy and motivated.

While enjoying the benefits of our location and getting inspiration from the surroundings, we also get time to create our brand new game. Our debut title is a new experiment far from explosions, wars to battle and zombies to kill. It is about human emotions and bonding. Featuring remarkable scenarios and unique atmospheres, Murasaki Baby is a fully hand-crafted game entirely designed by hand on paper.

Murasaki Baby wants to challenge convention and move its audience. Our game offers something different based on a strongly emotional game design through which players will live an experience like no other.

Baby wakes up in a weird world, populated by children’s fantasies and fears. Holding a purple, heart-shaped balloon in her hand, she feels lost, homesick and vulnerable. She wants her mommy. Grab her hand and be her guide: here begins a fantastic journey through a dramatic, yet grotesque world made of children’s fantasies and fears, nightmarish visions, peculiar characters, unique environments.

Grabbing Baby’s hand will make the player bond with her and feel the connection – in a very special way. The rest of the story is for you to experience.

This and RIME had the best trailers for me. Having an amazing style and polished graphics are the best ways to get me initially hooked on a game and this media delivers. I like that it seems to be a bit more of a slower paced, methodical game and probably less stressful than Escape Plan!

I have to admit to turning my head to look at the face the ‘right’ way up.

I love these types of games, very emotional, first time I seen the trailer I was just like AWWW, and I think I might buy the bundle if they bring one out with the vita, just to get this game, I really love them. Also I’m doing art N design level 2 in college, so I might use this as a project of mine. very lovely.

Hi! Must say I really loved this trailer. Games like Journey, Dear Esther and soon Rain and Murasaki baby are changing the industry. This game might sell me on the Vita. However, do you mind if I ask where that music comes from? Is it from the games soundtrack or could you inform me about if I can purchase it somewhere? 🙂

Loved the look of this game and like that it uses the Vita’s features plus the artstyle is real cool with its sort of I don’t know if I’d call it a gothic aesthetic but it looks great as a concept nonetheless.
